SHANNON MILLER - MARKETING MANAGER

Originally from Virginia, Shannon developed a passion for craft beer while studying in Richmond. After completing her Mass Communications - Public Relations degree at Virginia Commonwealth University, she launched her career in the industry at a brewery nestled in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. In 2018, Shannon relocated to Atlanta, captivated by the burgeoning beer scene, and has been actively involved with local breweries ever since.

When she's not orchestrating behind-the-scenes chaos, Shannon can be found exploring breweries in the city alongside her husband and their furry companions, Phoebe and Virginia. On occasion, her cats, Luke and Callie, join in the beer-loving adventures too.

Shannon's enthusiasm for the craft beer industry stems from the incredible community surrounding it. Whether connecting with peers and consumers at events or engaging with them on social media, she always seeks to forge meaningful connections over a pint.

What's your favorite beer style?

My go-to and all-time favorite is the West Coast IPA! However, I also find myself gravitating towards Pilsners and Lagers on those days when one beer just won't cut it.

What motivated you to pursue a career in craft beer?

On my 21st birthday, my dad took me on a brewery tour, and that experience completely captivated me. The entire creative journey from grain to glass is immensely thrilling. I adore witnessing the diverse expressions of creativity throughout the brewing process.

What defines you as a Fire Maker?

Living in the present moment! I embrace every opportunity for growth, learning, and, of course, enjoying the journey.
